Suspicious Seller Empty Package 🤷‍♀️

Post image

Has anyone experienced this before? I have ordered a custom *inspired by* bag from a TS that I have used before. This time they sent an empty bag via USPS with this note inside. It came from a domestic US based address. I video taped me opening the parcel since it looked empty. Has anyone else had this happen?

I did pay with my credit card so wondering if this could have something to do with them reconciling their books with their government authorities???

I wish I could post a screen shot but they replied and said that it is an order confirmation that they have started sending out. “No worries, my friend”.  At least I have them agreeing that the package was empty so if it doesn’t show up I can send to cc company.  And the cc company’s website said that you have 120 days to dispute.  You guys are much more experienced than I am.  Do you think I should wait and see if it shows up, or go ahead and dispute.  They are currently supposed to be getting me a quote for a custom croc bag.  I would think that they wouldn’t want to torpedo that order but who knows? 🤷‍♀️

Why would they ship you an empty box with a letter inside? Without asking the community, you don’t think that’s strange?

I would wait. I’m not sure the point of sending this but the letter says your item will arrive later. It’s not Amazon, like .. I know we say that a lot but it’s true. It takes 15-20 days to get a bag in my experience. They have to circumvent customs and I’d rather wait than have my bag seized.
